Chapter 516: Sword of the Battle Angel

readx;

It wasn't until slow-motion replays that it became clear how Nicolas Gigi sent the ball into the Newcastle goal - in the face of Beckham's precise pass of more than 60 meters, the black-haired England teenager volleyed directly from 25 meters away from the fans, and the football pierced through the ten fingers of [Spider-Man] Hugo Lloris with a huge indescribable arc...... Whether they are in front of the TV camera or in the stadium, the fans can't help but exclaim after seeing this shot, and the 'buzz' exclamation is like a symphony variation, getting bigger and bigger...... The incredible brilliance of Nicolas Gigi's shot was not in the curved and exaggerated arc, nor in the fact that the shot was 25 meters away from the goal, but in the fact that he shot with his back to Beckham's pass!

When the 60-meter-long cruise missile flew in the backfield, Gigi seemed to know the trajectory of the 'missile' for a long time, and he did not rush into the Newcastle penalty area to compete with Taylor and Sendros for shooting opportunities, nor did he stop the ball and pass it to his teammates to organize a second attack, but chose to approach the penalty area without hurry...... When everyone thought he was going to fight for the second spot, all Gigi did was tilt his upper body slightly and the ball landed on his instep as if it had been pre-designed by a state-of-the-art computer program...... What the handsome boy in England did next was just a sudden force!

Then, the football was instantly scarred by the huge force that exploded on the leg that was already scarred three or four years ago, and pulled out an arc without the slightest regularity, bypassing the head of the tall Taylor and Sendros, bypassing the blockade of [Spider-Man] who 'knotted' on the goal line, and rushed into the gate of Newcastle!

From Beckham's breaking the ball at the back to launching the attack, to the football finally penetrating the Newcastle goal, the whole process is only 8 seconds, of which 5 seconds are spent by the football flying in the air, and 2 seconds is spent by Beckham breaking the ball and looking up to watch his teammates run to complete the pass...... And Nicolas Gigi will score with a shot in just 1 second!

That's why so many viewers didn't see this scene clearly, or even reacted...... It wasn't until the handsome boy shook his head, and the wet sweat flew down from his black hair like the most beautiful pearl in the world, that the red and black fans cheered in disbelief............ "...... Whoa, whoa, whoa! My God! Incredible goal...... Nicolas Gigi, who scored a goal in front of God that only God can accomplish! "The first to call out was the Italian commentator Spolarino, whose tone contained a sense of joy and triumph like a macho man who had been suppressed for decades - "It took AC Milan less than ten seconds to break through Newcastle's supposedly impenetrable steel defence, and the score is now 3:1, a goal that rekindles hope for the Rossoneri that the game is not over......

In the stands, AC Milan fans cheered!

The large slogan with the face of the British army of Gigi finally flew freely again after a long silence, like a hunting battle flag, which represented that the red and black supporters had once again regained their trust in this pure angel-like teenager...... The crowd was throbbing, like a raging tide, just like in the long Serie A heavyweight match this season, and the AC Milanese once again began to cheer for the English teenager!

…… Sidelines. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In front of the AC Milan manager's command, Carlo Ancelotti jumped up excitedly.

Shouting proudly despite his demeanor, the chubby figure jumped up and down on the lawn on the sidelines like a pounded ball, and although he was a little stunned, the assistant coach and the substitutes around him understood that the manager was so excited...... However, they didn't know that what he thought about himself was too far away from what Ancelotti was really excited about...... Because, the reason Ancelotti is so out of shape is because this goal brought him far more than a point back, and from this AC Milan attack and Newcastle's reaction, he saw more information that made him ecstatic - those messages that made him withstand the pressure and stick to AC Milan's formation even after 3-0 down!

Long before the start of the game, Ancelotti had analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of Milan and Magpies over and over again, and what made Ancelotti, a master tactician, finally shake his head again and again, and came to the conclusion that Newcastle's style of play completely restrained AC Milan!

Newcastle's attacking style of play and powerful impact in midfield are the style that the aging AC Milan team fears most.

In the 04-05 Champions League, Juventus, the dominant player in Serie A that season, was dragged down by the high-level and fast pace of the Premier League against the young Premier League team Arsenal, and finally lost the two legs in a completely unaware situation...... The two teams that are about to meet now are so similar to the situation back then, AC Milan is similar to Juventus at that time, the team is technical, the control is excellent, and the experience of handling the ball is obviously superior, while Newcastle are more formidable than Arsenal in the 04-05 season, with the same group of talented players and the same emphasis on fast-paced attacking play...... Analyzing this, Ancelotti can already imagine that if there is no planned tactical arrangement for the surname, AC Milan, a luxurious and proud 'classic car', will be thrown by Newcastle, a powerful mud-legged off-road vehicle, in such a racing race!

Counting several attackers on the Milan frontline, Borriello has a wide open style and a strong body, but he can't really have the upper hand in the face of Taylor and Senderos, who are famous players in the Premier League, Pato is young and vigorous, has a strong breakthrough ability and weak confrontation ability, and his ability to grasp opportunities is too far worse than Inzaghi, but Inzaghi, Ancelotti's most trusted veteran, suffered an injury at this time...... In the end, Ancelotti's eyes fell on Nicolas Gigi, who was on loan from Newcastle!

The teenager is familiar with Newcastle's rhythm and tactical play, and more importantly, in the half season he has been in Milan, Ancelotti has seen a shocking growth rate from Gigi, which is a kind of growth that Ancelotti has never seen, this teenager called Gigi is like a dry sponge, sucking everything around him that can be absorbed without hesitation!

For a very simple example, despite the nickname of [Inzaghi II], Ancelotti saw very clearly that in the first five or six games of joining AC Milan, Gigi's ability to grasp opportunities and instant running and anti-offside positions was much worse than that of Inzaghi, the spirit fox in the penalty area, but after five or six games, the gap began to slowly narrow, and when the Serie A game was about to end, Ancelotti had to admit that even though Inzaghi was ten years younger, Gigi could already compete with him...... Gigi's ability to learn shocked Ancelotti, and what this well-known tactician appreciated the most was the English teenager's calmness and ability to read the game in the game, an excellent striker player not only has to test the skills of the feet, but also rely on a sharp mind to score, and in Ancelotti's view, throughout today's world football, among the young players who have become famous under the age of 19, Nicolas Gigi is the first person who can play the role of the mind in the game to the extreme!

Milan has the best midfield passing masters in the world, but the strength of the forward line is too far behind Newcastle, and the only one with distinctive characteristics and not weak strength is Gigi alone...... So, Ancelotti finally voted for Gigi!

Every manager is a gambler, and Gigi's ability to take chances, his elusive movements, and his mind-boggling ...... All this made Ancelotti, the 'gambling master', willingly put his bet on him, AC Milan played a 4-3-2-1 formation, and the only forward arrow was Gigi!

Ancelotti is worthy of being a well-known Europa tactician, his analysis of Newcastle is exactly the same as Li Tongfan, this old and young cunning fox both see the opponent and their own strengths and weaknesses, and use deliberate tactical arrangements to maximize their advantages, magnifying the opponent's disadvantages to the extreme!

The only thing Ancelotti didn't expect was that the madman Lee was crazy enough to use a back three in such an important game, and the collective explosion of three world-class strikers allowed AC Milan to hold on for less than 30 minutes in the first half before scoring three goals in a row...... Seeing that the great humiliation was already on his face, the experienced Ancelotti chose to persist at the most critical moment, placing all his hopes on Milan's midfield passing maestro and Gigi's reading of the game!

And in the 63rd minute, Carlo Ancelotti's bet finally paid off – and it wasn't just Gigi's goal.

The fat master tactician saw more in the scoring scene just now, with Newcastle's players losing stamina, attacking from the outside, AC Milan gradually starting to control the tempo of the game, and the characteristics of passing and control gradually came into play in the later stages of the game...... And what delighted Ancelotti the most was that he saw the familiar expression on Nicolas Gigi's face that had appeared countless times!

Ancelotti knew that every time this expression appeared on the face of the young man as pure as an angel, it meant that the boy had found a way to conquer the opponent's goal, just as the angel of war who judged sin in myths and legends finally held the invincible sword of judgment, and all enemies would wail, tremble, and kneel at his feet............ Carlo Ancelotti's ability to judge the potential of his players and analyse the situation of the game proved to be unrivalled – less than five minutes after the restart, AC Milan scored again!

The scorer was still Nicolas Gigi.

This time, he took a different approach and sent the ball into the goal of the handle of Hugo Lloris
